The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the upper classes tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
